QUESTIONS:
1. Which song do you prefer, #1 or #40?
Hmm, I guess I'll put a tie in here. Both artists have good songs and as I don't like this one from Nick Drake not THAT much it's a tie.

2. Have you ever listened to #12 continuously on repeat?
Honestly, I never listened to it before. I just put it on my PC and so it popped up.

3. What album is #26 from?
Gosh, I dunno. It's the Bangles. I'm no hardcore fan, I just like some songs.

4. What do you think about the artist who did #15?
One of the last good, ass-kicking and credible bands alive. And the funny thing is I thought for YEARS that the drummer of Nirvana had a brother who plays guitar in the foo fighters. ;)

5. Is #19 one of your favorite songs?
Nopes. I like other songs from them.

6. Who does #38 remind you of?
It reminds me of Mel, because she gave me some Ani stuff and made me fall in love with her music again after I listened to her before and didn't get why all people love her so much.

7. Does #20 have better lyrics or music?
Again a song I didn't listen to yet. So it's not possible to say.

8. Do any of your friends like #3?
Katharina loves it and she gave it to me. :)

9. Is #33 from a movie soundtrack?
Nopes, but it's off the soundtrack of my life. Very meaningful song.

10. Is #18 overplayed on the radio?
Definetely not. Still it's a poppy and very good song.

11. What does #21 remind you of?
Me, walking around my flat when listening to the album it the first time and the feeling of stumbling over some extraordinary piece of music.

12. Which song do you prefer, #5 or #22?
I like both, because the transported feeling is quite the same. Strange, but true.

13. What album is #17 from?
Hmmm, it's on the "almost famous" o.s.t., but I guess it's from one of Stevens early LPs. Dunno.

14. When did you first hear #39?
Hmmm, that's hard to say. But it's one of my favourites of all time.

16. What genre is #8?
I'd say pop/trip-hop

17. Do any of your friends like #14?
I dunno. Mel probably does, because I got the LP from her.

18. What color does #4 remind you of?
It's not a color, it's more a vague veil of sunlight, mixed with clouds.

19. Have you ever blasted #11 on your stereo?
Hell yeah ! It's an ass-kicking song !

20. What genre is #37?
Sophisticated Pop.

21. Can you play #13 on any instrument?
Probably on guitar, but haven't tried yet(good idea, btw. ;) ).

22. What is your favorite line from #30?
Hmm, I think it's an instrumental. But instrumentals are sometimes even better than too much lyrics.

23. What is your favorite lyric from #23?
"..das gegenteil von gut ist gut gemeint
in empfindsamkeit vereint. hier. befindlichkeitsfixierter aufstand.."

24. Would you recommend #24 to your friends?
Yup, but I guess it'd have to be a friend who likes that kind of music.

25. Is #2 a good song to dance to?
Not really. It's melancholic. Maybe just a little elegy in squares or smth. like that.

26. Do you ever hear #16 on the radio?
Not on german radio cause they fucking dunno what they miss when they don't play her songs.

27. Is #32 more of a “nighttime” or “daytime” song?
Nighttime.

28. Does #36 have any special meaning to you?
Yes, it helped me dealing with lots of stuff. But this is getting personal, so I'll cut it at this point.

29. Do any of your friends like #31?
Yesh, Mel looooves it. ^^

30. Is #25 a fast or slow song?
It's mellow and slow.

31. Is #35 a happy or sad song?
Hmm, haven't listened to it precise enough to say it. But Elliott Smith is dead, so everything he sings is basically sad. A big loss. I love his songs.

32. What is one of your favorite lyrics from #9?
"if I could put you in a frame I'd draw you smiling."

33. Is #34 better to listen to alone or with friends?
With friends

34. When did you first hear #27?
A few years ago, I guess.

35. Name 3 other songs by the artist who did #29?
only know "broken" (which is also superb, btw) of them.

36. Do you know all the words to #6?
Of course! :)

37. Does #28 have better lyrics or music?
Better music definetely. The lyrics are pretty plain.

38. What album is #10 from?
From the also entitled "good morning hope" LP. Great album !
